Many things are said to be infectious. Sleepiness can be infectious and yawning as well. A known strategy in soccer game. When a team is losing, they start playing nervously and they want to score at any price. If the winning team plays calmly and are very relaxed. The loser team will be infected by this relaxation and they will not get to score.
You should pay a great attention to infections of these types. Focus on associating with the happy, the lucky and the winners to be a winner as well.
There are a lot of unlucky people among us who have been brought down by circumstances and who need our help. It would be great to help and raise them up, change their patterns and help them create happier lives. But pay attention, sometimes we get infected by their patterns instead and we become more or less like them. The reason is that human beings are extremely susceptible to the moods, emotions and even the ways of thinking of those with whom they spend their time.
The unhappy and unlucky are very infectious because they present themselves as victimes and you are at first sight infected because emotions are intense. This is out of your control.
Understand that choosing the people to associate with is very critical. The ones who you should pay great attention from them are the ones who are chronically dissatisfied. they will affect you also, you will start feeling also dissatisfied about what you have and about your life as whole. They don't base their dissatisfaction on real things but this is their feelings and you will intimidate with them with will make you dissatisfied as well. There is only one solution to infection: quarantine. But it would be too late, you should protect yourself and recognize the infectious people and avoid them. You should know as quick as possible how they can affect the environment and you personally with their behaviours and feelings.
Put this in mind, the infector will never change, this is his life and he his happy this way, but by trying to help, you might get infected as well.
On the other hand try to associate with the happiest people, the cheerful people and intelligente ones. They are a source of pleasure and happiness for you. You will get more courage and happier life by joining them. Put this in your mind, All positive qualities can infect us. Use the positive side of this emotional osmosis to your advantage. Associate with the generous, with great people, and you will notice how your thinking and everything tight in you will become more untight. If you are gloomy, gravitate to the cheerful. If you tend to be alone and isolated, force yourself to make more good freinds. Get away from those who share your defects, they will reinforce everything that hold you back. Only create associations with positive affinities. Make this a rule of life and the life of your children, and you will never ever need a therapy of any kind in the world.
